I found this book in a Free Little Library and only picked it up because the setting of the story was close to home. Wow, I thought it might be a cheesy hallmark sort of story and the love story was like most, but the rest of the details and storyline was just so great! There were many surprises and I enjoyed reading it to see what would happen next. So glad I decided to give it a go!

Culinary Travels effectively combines travel narrative with cooking and recipes. There are a lot of things to like about this book. For me, the best part was reading the recipes with their lovely color photos. The recipes represent different countries and cultures. Each section of the book includes a short narrative section with author comments about the cultures visited and representative foods and recipes. Most impressive is the conciseness of the recipes, with clear instructions, making them doable for home chefs. You do not have to be a professional chef or own professional kitchen implements to duplicate the recipes included. They also present a wide variety of dishes, so there should be something to appeal to any readers interested in cooking and recipes from different countries and cultures. Even if you are not a cook, reading this book will transport you to different places that you might never get to visit. Conversely, reading this book might also encourage you to visit some of the places described in the narrative sections, just to try the foods!

I received this book from Early Reviewers in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed here are entirely my own.

Surprised by Love in Lake Geneva is a love story and history story successfully wrapped into one good read. The two main characters are very well developed. The story flows nicely and is believable. The side characters are understandable but not as well developed though this in no way detracts from the book. The editing was good but not perfect. A few wrong words a few missed punctuation or just wrong punctuation marks but nothing so annoying as having to re-read to understand. Just there. I would recommend this book to any who want a nice love story/ history lesson. Though I say history lesson, it is in no way like a text book. Just a look at life in the early 1930s. I was given this book through Bookfun.org because I asked to be able to read and review it.… (plus d'informations)

There are some books that stay with you long after you have read the last page. This book is one of them. The author has taken me back to the 1930s with words that capture the era with splendid details. I loved the description of the town . It was like a breath of fresh air with the authors vivid details of a small town where you feel instantly at home.

Meg is a wonderful character with grace and determination. Her desire to be a reporter is no secret to anyone. I loved how the author showed that it wasn't easy for a woman to get a job that was thought of as a man's job. What I really liked about Meg was her faith. She had times where she wondered if God was listening to her, but she never gave up. I loved how she struggled with trust and it made the story very compelling. I'm sure we have all struggled at times with trusting God.

Jack was a good character and I liked his honesty and his willingness to help out at the newspaper. Circumstances happen to allow Jack to run the local newspaper for awhile. Will he give Meg a chance to write a story to be printed? I loved how Meg shared God with Jack and got him to start going to church. Can Jack open his heart and let God in?

One of my favorite parts of the story was the disagreement Meg and her dad had over her future. I thought the author wrote a powerful storyline about how a father wants the best for his child . The pain and hurt that they both felt was an incredible journey of trusting and unconditional love. It was one of the most emotional times in the story where I cried, because I wanted father and daughter to mend their relationship.

I loved how the author included a bit of a mystery in the story that will affect several keys characters . What secret is revealed that will change the lives of several people? I loved everything about the book and always look forward to the authors next book . It was one the best books I've read about learning to trust God and restoring relationships.

I received a copy of this book from the author and The BookClub Network. The review is my own opinion.
